Little do you know. Have you ever bothered to think how utterly improbable your present is? How likely was it that the Soviet Union would just ... give up, without a shot being fired? That was, from the viewpoint of the decades before, the most unlikely scenario imaginable.
In truth, the actual history of that time is that Soviet Premier Igor Dorkoff (Igor the Horrible) launched a first strike, with the expected consequences. The aftermath was so ghastly that for one of the few times in history, it was decided to intervene at his conception. Now you know.

I have to confess that one of my descendents sneezed while on a tour of prebiotic earth. His mom told him to carry a hanky, but did he listen?
Decorum prevents me from describing how the bacterial flagellum got transported back to the past.
Past and future are also improbable if not totally illusory. Is memory any better than anticipation? We don't even know what happened that fateful day in Dallas over 40 years ago and probably know just as well what Dallas will be like 40 years from now.
ROFLMAO!!!
